People dieing

As a solider when somebody died we had to make sense out of it. We were sad it was hard but there is nothing that could be done. A lot of soliders wold make jokes out of it. When someone died they would call it greased, offed, lit up, or zapped while zipping. We would try to cover a death with anything not to make it sounds so bad. I remeber when Ted Lavender died. That guys smoked so much dope we joked that he probaly did even feel a thing. So when we were waiting for the chopper to come, we decided to smoke his dope. I told the guys there is a moral here. Stay away from drugs. No, joke they'll ruin your day everytime. This made me feel better and not so hurt by the death. Then the other guys had joke after i said that how its a mind blower because jsut his brains are left. But i knew this was really hard for everyone. Even though most of the guys would never show it.
